subtracting days from a date

[vaks009]

Hi Gurus:
I am new to Javascripting. Please help me with this issue.
i want to subtract 7 days from a given date in format
"2002-10-25 12:39:55".
7 days is defined as 7 whole days. For example ("2002-10-25 12:39:55" - 7 ) should be "2002-10-18 12:00:00"
thanks in advance.

will need to get the days from the date and restructure the date after making the calculations
for example
myDate = new Date();
myDays = myDate.getDays()-7
alert(myDays)
